For many years I've collected Heisey Crystolite depression glass because it was fairly inexpensive and an easy to find for a novice collector of Elegant glassware . It was manufactured in Ohio at the Heisey glass factory between the years of 1930-1957. I am fortunate enough to have about forty pieces of Crystolite and still seem to find pieces to add to my growing collection whenever I'm in an antique shop or an estate sale or online. This particular glassware is called "Elegant Glassware" according to this book by Gene Florence. Here are a couple vintage ads I purchased while antiquing one day. These 1940-1952 ads really seem to depict the innocence of the era which I love. I had already started collecting Crystolite when I came across these and now have them framed and sitting in with my collection. {click pics to enlarge} During WWII, the Heisey company shuttered their plant like so many others, during a period of materials scarcity. They came back online after the war, and as this 1952 ad suggests, continued to pursue and build upon their reputation for excellent quality. But, it was hard to compete with mass production, and the company closed down after Christmas 1957. Below are just a few pieces I have in my collection creamer, sugar and tray oval mayonnaise and liner scalloped Gardenia bowl and buffet liner punch bowl and buffet or punch liner punch bowl set and cups deep oval floral bowl The excerpt below from Gene Florence's book about this Swan Neck pitcher never fails to thrill me because this lovely swan just happens to live in my collection! "I am most often asked about the swan handled pitcher in this pattern which is extremely rare. You will never mistake it should you get the opportunity to see one!" ~ Gene Florence Torte tray and a fruit bowl a cigarette box and the Heisey Diamond logo I hope you've enjoyed my sparkly little collection of Elegant glassware and thank you Debra at "Common Ground" for so graciously hosting another Vintage Inspired Friday, one of my favorite topics.
